yeah, a meet would be cool. I painted my Supra this last summer (first time I tried this) but I think I may be doing quarter panels this spring..the work I did on the rearwheel lips has slight bubbles again, so I must have not done a good enough job. I hope to have it done before a meet! But I...
Would like to make one correction. Celicas were discontinued in the States 2006, not 2003. And it is still sold in other parts of the world (just like the MKIV Supra was for awhile). Not that it was all THAT impressive ( I had a 7th Gen that I traded in on my Si) but it and the MR-S were the...
The place we painted it was an old Horse barn converted into a big garage. He made a back room into a paint bay which it was seperate from everything else, had flourescent lights mounted along the walls, and a remote hookup for the air hose, and a fan/vent system (which wasn't working at the...
Thanks for all the kind words. I just got home from work, so sorry about the delay in answering questions.
The Toyota Supra on the back molding I did do with paint marker, after painting the moldings with Krylon Fusion (stuff works great).
The paint is called "Matrix System". I really like it...
yeah, that was us..thanks for the link!
I don't know what kind of compressor it was, it was a big floor model, old. I painted it at my sister-in-laws boyfriends step-dads (Phew!). The gun we used was a Binks pot set-up. We had a HVLP gun as well, but we couldn't get it to lay down as nice...
Thanks! It's not perfect, but for a first try I'm happy with it. I had ditched the original moldings, put on the 89+ and repainted them (with Krylon) the TOYOTA SUPRA I did with a paint marker (like for modeling). I also replaced the mudgaurds as the 87 ones had the same problem as the molding...
I finally completed painting the Supra. I never tried painting a car before, and I ran into a few problems along the way while learning, but overall it turned out pretty well. I had discovered this spring that both my fenders had rotted out at the bottom, and I had a rust area over the pass side...
Well, here's my solution. I have an 87 N/A mkIII (which I LOVE) and an 06 Civic Si. The k20z3 will stomp the bejeezus out of the Supra, it's a great car. But that doesn't mean I don't love the Supra. The Supra is also a blast to drive, but it is nowhere near as quick. And the k20z3 has i-vtec...
